Wi-Fi 7 to get the final seal of approval early next year, new standard is up to 4.8 times faster than Wi-Fi 6::There are a lot of ‘draft’ Wi-Fi 7 devices around, but ‘Wi-Fi 7 Certified’ devices will only come to market sometime next year.
This is primarily meant to replace wired local data transfer solutions like thunderbolt. Example, sending video data from a camera to an editing workstation.
The transfer speed of WiFi 7 is just over Thunderbolt 3.
Woah. I assume Thunderbolt will still have latency benefits. For example, we’re not going to have wireless eGPUs, surely? I hope I’m wrong, because wireless PCIe lanes would be amazing.

This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
Damn, I don’t think I even have WiFi 6 yet, haha. I’ve just not had any need for faster speeds.
I’m sure something will come along that’ll make use of it though!

Cpus won’t be able to handle the interrupts from speeds that high.
Wait till you’re streaming 8k video in each eye of your VR headsets. And, the whole family is watching in their headsets. You’ll need it some day.
That’s why I’m dropping fiber in my house when I do my ethernet drops. Might as well pull 2 wires and future-proof it.
40Gb fiber and CAT6e?
Nice.
It’s even better, because I forgot that our neighborhood was getting FTTH until they started on my street this morning.
